The invention relates to the discovery that specific adamantyl or adamantyl group derivatives containing retinoid-related compounds induce apoptosis of cancer cells and therefore may be used for the treatment of cancer, including advanced cancer. Also, the present invention relates to novel adamantyl or adamantyl group derivatives containing retinoid compounds and their usage for treatment and/or prevention of cancer, keratinization disorders, dermatological conditions, and other therapies More specifically, it has been shown that such adamantyl compounds, e.g., 6-[3-(1-adamantyl)-4-methoxyphenyl]-2-naphthoic acid, 2-[3-(1-adamantyl)-4-methoxyphenyl]-5-benzimidazole carboxylic acid, and 6-[3-(1-adamantyl)-4,5-methylenedioxyphenyl]-2-naphthoic acid, can be used to treat or prevent cervical cancers and precancers such as cervical dysplasias, including high grade and low grade dysplasias.

The present invention concerns fragments and variants of the HYD1 peptide; polynucleotides encoding the peptides; host cells genetically modified with the polynucleotides; vectors comprising the polynucleotides; compositions containing these peptides, polynucleotides, vectors, or host cells; and methods of using the peptides, polynucleotides, vectors, and host cells as inhibitors of aberrant cell growth in vitro or in vivo, e.g., as anti-cancer agents for treatment of cancer, such as myeloma. The present invention further includes a method of increasing the efficacy of chemotherapy and radiation therapy, comprising administering an agent that binds β1 integrin to a patient in need thereof. In one embodiment, the β1 integrin binding agent is the HYD1 peptide, or a functional fragment or variant thereof. In another aspect, the invention pertains to a composition (an adhesion trap) comprising a substrate (also referred to as a surface or support) with a HYD1 peptide, or fragment or variant thereof, immobilized to the substrate, and a method of removing circulating tumor cells (CTC) from blood by contacting a subject's blood with the immobilized peptide. Another aspect of the invention concerns a method of identifying modulators of peptide binding. Another aspect of the invention concerns a method for detecting CTC.

Disclosed are a diagnosis method and a therapeutic method for cancer, both of which utilize HERV-H env gene and protein. Particularly, cancer can be diagnosed by detecting the expression of HERV-H env gene, and a reagent used for the detection of the expression can be used as a diagnosing agent. Cancer can be treated by inhibiting the function of HERV-H env gene, and a reagent used for the inhibition of the function can be used as an anti-cancer agent. Alternatively, cancer can be treated by administering a peptide having a specific sequence contained in HERV-H env protein or the like, and the peptide or the like can be used as a cancer vaccine.
